Summary of Allegations Against Bishop Michael Bransfield:

According to media reports, Bishop Bransfield was named as an abuser of boys in the 2012 testimony of one witness during the trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the former Secretary of Clergy for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Another witness testified Bransfield had a lewd conversation with him. Both men were testifying about abuse by Father Stanley Gana. The Prosecutor also said that Bransfield had been accused in a separate instance of fondling a minor in the 1970s.

Bransfield denied the allegations. He then resigned in September 2018 after Pope Francis ordered an investigation into allegations that Bransfield sexually harassed adults.
